So Garmin huh... How many times has yours locked up this week? Let me tell you about a device that is going to put Garmin on notice and reduce their market share.

It's called the Element Bolt and it's made by Wahoo. Now I'm not a fan of their trainers. I burnt like 3 of those things out in a winter so I'm far from brand loyal. But my garmin's have been really pissing me off the last few months. To the point I almost threw my 520 in to a lake after it locked up going for a legit KOM ( an actual climb not some bullshit flat land sprint) I drove 3 hrs to get only to have some horseshit device I paid threw the noise ruin the whole thing.

So my quest to replace this steaming pile of donkey diarrhea as brought to this magical device. I mean its like finding an unicorn that craps gold nuggets and gives you a back rub. It took me about 3 minutes to setup my power meter, heart monitor, and data page on the device. You can have you power, HR and climb profile on the same page... Magical Unicorn that craps gold nuggets I tell you.

I’m very curious to hear a bit more long term review from you on this. I’m not super happy with my 820. Had every setting turned down to save power and it still almost died on me at Lumberjack. 3% battery left when I rolled across the line. With all the settings on normal, it almost died at Mohican 100k. Yep, barely 6 hours battery life. LAME!

No, not yet. Apparently they were having issues with their plastics vendor. That is supposed to have been resolved and they are in production now. I am still hoping to receive it by the end of the year.

Interested in your thoughts once it comes. I'm less and less confident in their ability to deliver, and more importantly continue to offer support and software updates.

Yeah, I'll post up once I had a chance to play with it. I guess the good thing is it's android based, there's the potential for others to pick-up if they fail. Hopefully they will have Google App store integration.

I placed my order for a Karoo on Aug. 15 so according to Hammerhead I should receive it by Feb at this point. Hoping for a nice Christmas present to myself.

A few days ago they posted that they have started shipping. Might have mine this month.

Any movement on Karoos? I'm about to ask for a refund.

Yeah, i have had mine for about 3 weeks or so. Sorry I didn't post anything yet. It's been a little disappointing for me so far. Have had issues with the unit rebooting or just the ride app crashing and loses the ride. I have had speed sensor issues too. Speed was registering much lower than actual speed. My power meter seems to be working.

There was an update pushed out today that is supposed to resolve some of the issues. Overall it's a nice unit. It is big but feels like it is built well.

Bellringer received his too and hasn't had the reboot issue yet. If you already paid for it you might as well wait for it. They seem to be actively resolving issues and adding new features. Updated my unit 4 times already. I have opened a support ticket and they have been responsive.

I'm going to use my unit Sunday for sure so I'll update on the issue resolutions. I am hoping for the best.
